Thirty years later, the rewards of Americas great gold rush have made Tom Walsh one of the worlds richest men. But when his daughter Evalyn persuades him to buy the notorious Hope Diamond - thought to be cursed by the Indian goddess, Sita - he learns that tragedy and heartache serve a master far greater than money or stature...
